# Importing a local Alembic file through your project folder
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is the default recommended import method. Use it when you can have a copy of the Alembic source file in a folder within your Unity project, for example:
|
||
|
|
* To import smaller assets.
|
||
|
|
* To import assets in a context of individual work that does not involve team collaboration.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Importing the file
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To import an Alembic file through your Unity project folder:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. From your computer file system, drag the Alembic (`.abc`) file to any folder of your Project view.
|
||
|
|
<br />This creates a separate copy of your original file in your Unity project.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. In the Project view, select the Alembic file you just copied.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. In the Inspector, adjust the properties of the [Alembic Importer window](ref_Importer.md) to customize the import process.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. Drag the Alembic file from the Project window to the Hierarchy.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Applying Materials
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Alembic format does not support any Material data. However, once you imported the file, you can [reassign the Default Material](matshad.md#materials) to a custom Material.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Alembic for Unity package also provides you with several [Shaders](matshad.md#shaders) specifically designed for Alembic data.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Editing the import options
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can adjust the import options after you added the Alembic asset to your Scene.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To do so:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. In the Project window, select the Alembic file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. In the Inspector, edit the properties of the [Alembic Importer window](ref_Importer.md).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Select **Apply** at the bottom of the window, or select **Revert** if you actually want to abandon your changes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
>**Note:** If these buttons are inactive, it means that the Alembic Importer currently uses the import options as seen in the window.
